If AMD gets better, I'll totally go with them, but for now, Intel gets my support. I'm not biased, it is just that Intel is honestly much better.

show me some proof cause all the test ive run say otherwise.

This will start you off:

my old Pentium II laptop came out of its coma
apparently the cpu had loosened itself somehow...so I reseated the risercard its embedded on and now its running fine...cept the usb ports...they just suck, as theyve always sucked

look at it from a price to power standpoint then tell me its true

my laptop has an intel pentium II procesor

What a surprise, Microcenter just happens to have the Q6600 for $200 on their front page. Micro Center Online | the center of .computer shopping

Otherwise, lets just use the standard Q6600 retail price of $240.
The standard AMD price, according to their site, is $220 for the Phenom 9600.

The Intel is roughly 10-15% faster. Let's go with the low end and say that it is only 10%. Let us also assume that there is a static marginal price-to-performance increase, even though as performance goes up, price rises much faster, hence paying four times as much for a Pentium Extreme, even though it is only about 50% faster.

For this evaluation, let the Q6600 be the reference unit.

(220 + 220 / 10)/ 220 = $1.008333333 per processing Unit (in this case, percentage)
240 / 240 = $1 per processing Unit. .

The Q6600 performs better, is more cost-efficient, and if you get it at Microcenter for $200 (not sure how long it lasts) is, in fact, cheaper than the Phenom in its entirity. There is no other way you can look at it. In addition, the marginal processing costs would increase very quickly.

once agian, take two processors that score the same exact same.. and compare there prices... and u'll see amd is cheaper... not going to argue with you cause you keep choosing a faster processor not one of equivalent level and looking at price to power.

Intel doesn't have any quad core processors that slow... That was the fastest AMD processor and the slowest intel processor. Unless you want me to start comparing Intel's dual core processors to AMD's quad core processors...

Intel Quad = Two dual cores on one silicon slab
AMD Quad = One Quad core on one silicon slab.

Intel doesnt make true quad core cpus
